1995 Bmw M3 - Bostongrun/champagne, 36.5k Miles on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
Hello! Regretfully selling my 1995 M3 Boston Green/Champagne coupe with only 36.5k mi. Here are the specs:
- Boston Green exterior/Champagne leather interior - automatic transmission - luxury package (includes luxury seats, wood dash panels and different front bumper) - brand new floor mats (I have the originals - still in great shape) - currently ~36,500mi The car is completely stock and 100% original- it has never been tracked, raced, or modified in any way. I am the third owner, although CarFax shows a 4th due to the car being transferred to an estate following the death of the original owner. The car was originally purchased as a custom order in Palm Springs, CA and driven in both California and Arizona. I purchased the car from an enthusiast who sold to to make way for his new Nissan GT-R. The car has always been garaged, and the paint is excellent. The body is very straight and without any dings, dents, or scratches. Their is, however, a minor etch in the clear coat from a bird dropping on the roof- approximately the size of a nickel. All moldings, corner indicators, fogs, taillights and headlights have remained crystal clear and the plastic guards beneath the front bumper cover are all intact. The wheels are in average shape due to parallel parking mishaps from the original owner. The interior in this car is in unbelievable condition. Champagne leather is fairly unique/rare and goes well with the luxury seats (these are not "Vaders") and the Bostongrun exterior. The leather is in remarkable shape and feels very soft- no cracks, discoloration or scuffs. Rear and passenger seat are in nearly unused and perfect condition. Some small wear exists on the driver side seat bolster (please see the photos)- I use a seat cover and regularly clean the seats. Headliner, carpets and mats (brand new, but I have the originals) are in top shape and without any stains or markings. Further, all the electronic components on the dash function and automatic seats adjust in all directions. The engine is very smooth and quiet and the VANOS engages and disengages properly. The car handles well and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly and each mode- sport, economy, and manual. Comes with a cover, all factory tools, and the original spare. The car has always been maintained properly and all fluids are current. Recent maintenance with all OEM fluids/parts (except as noted): engine oil (Redline 10W-40) and filter, intake filter, coolant, water pump (Stewart, aluminum impeller), thermostat, both accessory drive belts, power steering (Redline ATF), differential fluid (Redline 75W90), brake fluid flush, and fuel filter. I have records dating back to the second owner, but nothing prior except the original keys (including valet), owners manual, and demo cassette tape. All early records were lost during the transfer to the estate. The tires are Yokohama S Drive with ~30% remaining. Inspections, at buyer expense, are welcome. If you are local, I would encourage you to come to see the car in person. Will ship anywhere. If you are looking for a very well cared for, low mileage, outstanding E36 M3, this is it. Car is located in beautiful, sunny San Diego, CA. Many thanks for your interest! |

BMW i3 will come with unusual 'OwnersChoice' non-lease option
Sun, Mar 16 2014In case you were interested in driving a BMW i3 but were afraid of getting into a traditional lease, there's some good new for you. We think. BMW recently announced that it would offer something called "OwnersChoice" and "OwnersChoice with Flex" to make the elegant city EV an easier purchase. Or temporary purchase, anyway. Something called "OwnersChoice with Flex" is not listed on the federal government's consumer information page on vehicle financing and we couldn't get a better explanation out of BMW than the official announcement, but the gist appears to be that an i3 buyer can make a gigantic balloon payment at the end of the contract term in order to pay less in monthly costs along the way. The way Automotive News describes it, the typical balloon note chains the buyer to the car in such a way that, while you can get lower monthly payments, you're still on the hook for the amount of the financing even if you return the car. With OwnersChoice, if you give the i3 back after the contract is done (usually after three years), you're in the clear. With OwnersChoice with Flex, you need to pay up no matter if you keep the car or not, but you can take the $7,500 federal tax incentive and increase your balloon payment by - let's see here, what's the amount? ah, yes - up to $7,500, which would knock $208 (7,500 divided by 36) off your payment every month. BMW Group Financial Services (GFS) came up with this new lease/payment hybrid thing, and Fred Isele, BMW GFS vp of sales and marketing, says it lets owners get, "a comfortable payment for one of the highest technological and efficient premium electric vehicles available to date." BMW GROUP FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFERS 'OWNERSCHOICE WITH FLEX' FINANCING PRODUCT WITH PURCHASE OF NEW i3 -- PROVIDES END-OF-TERM OPTIONS SIMILAR TO LEASING, YET BENEFITS OF OWNERSHIP WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – February 25, 2014 – With the launch of the BMW i3, the brand's first premium electric vehicle, BMW Group Financial Services becomes one of the first in the industry to create a financial solution to ownership that provides eligible customers with the options to lower their monthly payment and return the vehicle at the end of their contract term. The financing product called 'OwnersChoice with Flex,' provides eligible BMW i3 customers the option to increase their final OwnerChoice balloon payment due at the end of their contract term by up to $7,500.
BMW preparing two concepts for Villa d'Este
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Every spring, the finest automobiles ever to grace tarmac gather on the shores of Lake Como for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It's a chance for the most beautiful classics to compete for awards and for automakers and design studios to show off their concept cars under the soft light of the Italian sun. But while most of the vehicles old and new that show up for the concours are ones we've seen before, BMW takes things a step further.
As patron of the concorso d'eleganza for the past ten years, BMW regularly cooks up something new for the glamorous extravaganza. Last year it teamed up with Pininfarina for the Gran Lusso Coupé and revealed it alongside the Concept 90 motorcycle. The year before that came the BMW Zagato Coupe, preceded by the 328 Hommage and the M1 Hommage (pictured above) before it.
The theme for this year's event is the Roaring Twenties. BMW may not have been known back then on the same level as Bugatti or Duesenberg, but Rolls-Royce sure was.
BMW 3 Series eDrive plug-in hybrid spotted in development
Thu, 06 Feb 2014BMW has shown its commitment to the development of hybrid and electric powertrains in recent years, with vehicles in its ActiveHybrid range, electrics like its BMW ActiveE and range-extended EVs like the i3 and i8. Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles are clearly top-of-mind for the German automaker. We saw spy shots of the PHEV BMW X5 eDrive prototypes about a year ago, and now our shooters have come through with a 3 Series-bodied version of the technology, as well.
In addition to the obvious "Hybrid Test Vehicle" designation you see on the bodysides of this 3er, we also note that a second 'fuel cap' - presumably hiding the electric charge point - is in evidence. It's a fairly safe assumption that this 3 Series is making use of the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine and electric motor configuration that the X5 eDrive used. In the case of the X5, that meant a top electric-only speed of 75 miles per hour, with a range of just under 20 miles, and 0-62 mph in under 7 seconds. With considerably lighter, compact sedan bodywork clothing the PHEV drivetrain, we'd guess that the 3 Series eDrive could improve on each of those numbers.
